Yu Guohua, who was unwilling to surrender, died like this. Until the moment he died, he could not see clearly who the murderer was.
Maybe he knew who the murderer was, but just didn't want to believe it.
The hall was silent again, and the silence was a bit eerie.
Maybe it was because the wind outside was too strong, or maybe the two wooden doors were in disrepair for a long time, but with a "bang" sound, the bolted door was blown open by the wind.
When a blast of cold air blew in, it also brought snowflakes flying all over the sky.
The smell of blood that filled the air was swept away, replaced by chill and the sound of the howling wind.
Perhaps they were shocked by Yu Guohua's death, but none of the dozens of Ming army generals in the hall thought of closing the door.
Until Wang Wu silently went over and closed the door.
When he turned around, he glanced at Lieutenant General Yu who was on the ground with wide eyes and a dead look on his face. Wang Wu's steps paused for a moment, and then he returned to his original position expressionlessly and continued to remain silent.
There were no mood swings, and there was no sign of any psychological changes on his face, as if what happened here had nothing to do with him.
It wasn't that Wang Wu was indifferent to the death of Vice General Yu, nor was it that he was really determined to join Suo Yanlong and Tian Shou as traitors, but because the moment the door closed, he saw the soldiers lurking in the corner and in the courtyard. .
He is Suo Yanlong's personal soldier.
A real-life Hongmen Banquet, or in other words, this was an extremely dangerous meeting.
Obviously, Suo Yanlong does not allow anyone to defy his decision.
The so-called voluntary is just an argument to attract opponents.
Also, if Wang Wu were to preside over it, he would not allow opponents to exist.
Now that we have decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, we naturally have to bring more troops there. There are 4,000 Ming troops stationed at Wujiayuanzi. If we bring all these troops to the Qing side, we will definitely get better treatment than if we bring half of them there.
No matter which dynasty or generation you belong to, the welfare benefits after surrender will depend on the surrenderer's own strength.
This is indeed the case.
Uncle Feng clarified the condition of "coming with the whole army" in his letter to Suo Yanlong. As long as this condition is met, Suo Yanlong will definitely get the green camp registered military rank awarded by the Qing court. No matter how bad it is, it will still be a real achievement. Serve as general.
This was endorsed by Li Guoying, commander-in-chief of the Western Front of the Qing Army and Governor-General of Sichuan.
Li Guoying is currently competing with Bai Rumei, the governor of Shaanxi, and Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, for the leadership of the Ming army's encirclement and suppression campaign in Kuidong.
In addition, the Qing army in Sichuan on the western front advanced rapidly and achieved the greatest results. Therefore, if Li Guoying achieved both military and political gains, he would definitely surpass Bai Rumei and Zhang Changgeng and become the "leading hero" in the eyes of the Qing court.
For this reason, the price offered by Li Guoying to the generals of the Kuidong Ming Army was still very generous and attractive.
So for the sake of future, Suo Yanlong could not allow Yu Guohua to take people away.
Even if Yu Guohua is his.
When I started, there was almost no hesitation, and the white knife went in and the red knife came out without any sloppiness.
Wang Wu's evaluation of him was ruthless and ruthless.
This kind of person is born to do things.
In fact, Tian Shouyi really thought that Suo Yanlong would let Yu Guohua go, so he was frightened by Suo Yanlong's sudden murderous behavior. After realizing that everyone was a grasshopper on a rope, he immediately reported to the guard captain Wang Wu glanced and signaled him to carry Yu's body out.
Wang Wu followed the order and silently stepped forward and dragged the bloodstained Deputy Yu outside the lobby. Then he walked outside the courtyard and called his own soldiers Zhu San and Wan Si to find needle and thread.
"sewing?"
The blind man Wan Si was very puzzled, not knowing what the captain wanted to do with needle and thread.
Wang Wu didn't explain and just asked Wan Si to get it.
After a while, Wansi took out the needle and thread. Wang Wusi looked at it and asked the mute Zhu San and the blind Wansi to let him have some time. He alone in the shed stuffed Deputy General Yu's intestines that had flowed out of his body into his abdomen. Then, with stitches and stitches, he re-sewed several long cuts on Deputy General Yu's abdomen.
The process was grueling and the images were terrifying.
Wang Wu showed no disgust or impatience from beginning to end, and just quietly went on and on under the oil lamp, because he wanted this anti-Qing martyr to have the final dignity after his death.
As for the terrifying flesh and blood in front of him, he was already used to it.
Less than half an hour later, Wang Wu straightened up from the ground, exhaled, and bowed deeply to the body of Deputy General Yu with mixed emotions. Then he called Zhu San and Wan Si in and asked them to find a place after dawn. They buried Deputy General Yu and asked them to leave a mark so that they could be buried in a coffin when they came back in the future.
This is the only thing Wang Wu can do.
The current situation did not allow him to act like a hero.
While Wang Wu was busy sewing up Yu Guohua's body, the results of the military meeting in the lobby came out. The middle and senior officers of the Ming army who attended the meeting unanimously agreed to follow Suo Yanlong and surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
After all, no one wants to become the second Yu Guohua.
It seems that Suo Yanlong's strategy of killing one person as a warning to others has been successful.
The ideological work of the subordinates is free to be done by the officers. The three "giants" Suo Yanlong, Tian Shouyi, and Hu Jungui only need to be in charge.
The order Wang Wu received was to work for the personal barracks to ensure that both officers and soldiers agreed to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and that no mutiny would occur.
There are 320 people in the personal barracks, all of whom are veterans for more than five years. Although they cannot be as generous as the Ming army generals in the past, they are still provided with the greatest guarantee of food and drink, and they can eat two meals a day.
Not much oil and water, but not too hungry.
Wang Wu has been the leader of the personal barracks for almost a year. During this year, he got along quite well with the soldiers in the personal barracks because he was young and friendly to others, unlike some officers who frequently shouted, cursed and quarreled at the people below. Want, extremely difficult.
In addition, Wang Wu is not a second-generation airborne. Since he served in Tian Shou Yi's army, he has been famous for his courage to fight and charge, and his courage to risk his life, so he has a high prestige among the officers and soldiers of the personal barracks.
However, Wang Wu didn't know how to talk about surrender to these brothers who had followed him through life and death.
When Zhu San and Wan Si learned the whole story, they were immediately in a low mood. It was obvious that they were very resistant to the surrender.
They have enmity with the Qing army.
Zhu San's mouth was pierced by Qing soldiers and he was unable to speak and became mute. Wan Si's left eye was also shot by Qing soldiers' arrows and he became one-eyed and blind.
Now they are asked to surrender to the Qing army, deep down they are definitely not willing to do so.
"Something happened at Liu Shuai's place. We are now alone here. The food in the village is enough for us to eat for half a month at most. If the Qing army doesn't come to fight in half a month, we will starve to death..."
Wang Wu patiently persuaded the two of them to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. From the macro fact that the Yongli court had been destroyed, to the micro fact that there was a shortage of grain and grass in the village, he clearly pointed out that surrendering to the Qing Dynasty was the best way out.
"Aba Aba..."
Zhu San opened his mouth and tried hard to say something, but the voice that came out was really incomprehensible, so he had to make gestures to express his feelings to the captain.
It was the captain who saved his life, so he would do whatever the captain did.
Wan Si didn't say a word, but his expression was very uncomfortable.
"You only have a chance if you survive. The current situation... my fate is up to others and not up to me."
Wang Wu sighed slightly and put the eyepatch that Wan Si had taken off back on his left eye.
Wan Si still didn't say anything and remained silent.
But silence also represents an attitude - acquiescence.
Under the general trend, personal thoughts and efforts are really insignificant, and even personal lives can be directly ignored.
In the wind and snow in Wushan, there is no feeling of clouds and rain at this time, but only the despair of human nature in a desperate situation.
